Deformation and fracture mechanics of engineering materials

This Third Edition of the well-received engineering materials book has been completely updated, and now contains over 1,100 citations. Thorough enough to serve as a text, and up-to-date enough to serve as a reference. There is a new chapter on strengthening mechanisms in metals, new sections on composites and on superlattice dislocations, expanded treatment of cast and powder-produced conventional alloys, plastics, quantitative fractography, JIC and KIEAC test procedures, fatigue, and failure analysis. Includes examples and case histories.
